I learned a valuable lesson from that. If I see a video clip post on your blog – immediately put away any and all food and drink I was ingesting and rinse out my mouth – lest I spit chewed up cereal all over my screen.

Speaking of mascara. . .I bought some of the expensive stuff from the Trish McEvoy counter. The lady who sold it to me said it wouldn’t smudge, flake, run or do any of those things I don’t like mascara to do. The firsat time I cried wearing it was the last time I wore it. No, it didn’t run. Instead it fell off onto my cheeks in pieces. My boy was completely alarmed. “Mama! Wook! You eyewashes are coming off!” Indeed, it was a freaky sight.

You’re such a doll. I totally want to hang out with you, but you’re 3,000 miles away or something.

I can picture the whole scene. You laughing like those hysterical pregnancy giggling fits that I remember and love so well and the kids going….”like Whhhaaaaaat? Was something funny here? Grown-ups are soooo weird!”
Kids do, indeed, say the darndest things.

Oh, the joys of junior primary chorister. That was my job for almost 4 years and I cried when they tried to release me. I told them no, I wouldn’t go, but eventually they did manage to kick me out.

I love it when you ask the kids a question about a song, like “What is happening in this picture?” (it’s a girl giving her friend flowers), and a little girl raises her hand and says to you, “Hey, Hey, We got a new dog, but it died”.

PRIMARY KIDS ROCK! I served as pp for 5 years… 2 different wards (seriously, I think I needed to learn something)& when I was released this time, I bawled my eyes out. I missed my kids so much.
My old 2nd counselor was called as pres and came up to me about 3 weeks later and told that they’d had a lesson on taking care of our bodies, Ie: Temples, and she’d asked the kids what they should eat for breakfast. My son’s arm shot into the air and when called on said “CHOCOLATE CAKE”. She said that now she had the dirt on me,(bad mommy) especially now that I was no where in sight to keep my own “contained”.
Love the hamster. thank you for sharing it!
Gonna remember that one. LOL
